About Us - Perspectives

The PERSPECTIVES mission is to help organizational leaders achieve extraordinary outcomes.

Our Core Values

Live What We Teach

Through demonstrated emotional intelligence, and employing our deep understanding of personalities and conflict, our clients become our partners. Business relationships are rooted in trust and integrity as together we establish objective perspective, develop plans, and support forward-looking performance.

Communicate Directly, with Kindness and Clarity

We believe the shortest path to the end goal is a direct one. As such, we will say what needs to be heard, knowing it is not always the same as what the client may WANT to hear. Be certain we’ll say it in a way you can not only hear it, but also ponder it, consider it, and take impactful action because of it.

Seek and Honor Diversity

We know for sure inclusion, equity, diversity, and accountability enable unprecedented creativity, decision making, and results. This is why we actively seek-out differing perspectives and collaborate intensely with each other, as well as with our clients, as an essential and systematic method of operation.

Communicate, Collaborate, Commit, Succeed!

OUR PLEDGE is to clearly understand our clients’ needs and deliver services that exceed their expectations!

If we’re lucky in this life, we come across a person that sees us, challenges us, inspires us, builds us up, helps us tap into our full potential and sends us out into the world to be that person for others. Karen has been that person for me and I can honestly say that I am an even better leader after working with her. I feel grateful for having met Karen and am confident that I have quite a powerful and effective arsenal of tools and strengths to assist me as I continue to higher heights in my professional career.

ChiroCongress had the pleasure of working with Karen on developing a first-time-ever nationwide strategic plan for the Chiropractic profession. She played a critical role in facilitating every step of the process. Her guidance and insights helped us achieve our goals and she has been instrumental in implementing the plan.
